Pros
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features.""We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand.""It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.""Inter Process Communication.""The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability.""The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""The solution is fast.""It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities""The user interface and dashboards are very good.""This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed.""I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team.""QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use.""Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."

More QlikView Pros →

"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform.""The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful.""I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau.""It's a very strong analytics tool.""We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy.""Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."

Cons
"It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market.""There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office.""When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails.""Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support.""Its functionality is lacking.""In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks.""It would be better if it had a wide range of visualization options. For example, Microsoft Power BI has an extensive range of visualization options, but it's not available in OBIEE. There are also some conflicts because it's complicated, but the cloud application is easier. They added some features for ETL with the on-premises application, but we need a different or a separate application for ETL in the cloud. In the next release, I would like to have more AI features.""It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date.""Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point.""Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""The tool is expensive in Turkey.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly.""The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up.""There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."

More QlikView Cons →

"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics.""There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports.""I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports.""They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic.""The hourly pricing needs improvement."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
